Creamy garlic sautéed mushrooms with gnocchi and breadcrumbs. A rich and delicious weeknight dinner, but also a perfect treat for your next date night. To make this dish as fast and easy as possible, we cook everything in one single pot. In fact, you’ll be digging into this supremely satisfying dinner in about 15 minutes.
A few smart ingredient choices take this dinner from good to sensational. Using potato gnocchi is the first, they offer a nice chew. When combined with tender mushrooms, Parmesan and cream, you’ll get a pretty brilliant meal. To add depth, we use a mix of miso paste and garlic. For even more built-in flavor, we cook the gnocchi in broth instead of water. After everything is ready, we add cream, turn off the heat and then stir in grated Parmesan. This way the cheese can slowly melt and you’ll have delicious gnocchi and mushrooms in a creamy, slightly tangy sauce that’s super decadent without being clumpy or sticky. Serve with chives and toasted breadcrumbs, enjoy!

How to
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.
First make the crunchy breadcrumbs by toasting 1/2 cup breadcrumbs in 2 tbsp olive oil until golden brown, season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add the mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have given off their liquid and start to brown, 5 minutes. Add butter, stir until melted and lower the heat. Add garlic and onion, sauté for 2 minutes.
Add gnocchi, and pour broth, stir and bring to a boil. Cook over medium high heat, for 2 minutes.
Now add cream. Season with black pepper and stir in miso paste. Turn off the heat. Add grated parmesan and lemon juice, stir to combine. Let stand for 2 minutes.
Taste and season with salt and more black pepper to your own liking. Garnish with chopped chives and breadcrumbs. Serve with a side salad drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Enjoy!
